Hey Montreal! When you hear “Brazilian music,” samba and bossa nova often come to mind. But there’s another powerful, electric rhythm that’s been bubbling up, shaking dance floors, and building communities globally: Brazilian Funk. For a long time, it was misunderstood outside of Brazil, but now, thanks to cultural hubs like Rabaterapia, Brazilian Funk in Canada is no longer just a sound, it’s a celebrated movement.

We’re incredibly proud to be at the forefront of introducing and uplifting this vibrant genre in Montreal.

The Evolution of a Global Beat

Brazilian Funk (often called “Funk Carioca”) originated in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, born from a mix of Miami Bass, African rhythms, and local Brazilian influences. It’s raw, unapologetic, and incredibly empowering. Historically, it faced stigma, even in Brazil. However, its undeniable energy, catchy beats, and powerful messages have broken through, becoming a global phenomenon. Artists like Anitta have taken Funk to international stages, proving its universal appeal.

At Rabaterapia, we’re dedicated to showcasing the authentic power and joy of this genre, transforming it from something misunderstood to a beloved cultural experience.

Rabaterapia: More Than Just a Class, It’s a Cultural Hub

We believe that dance is a powerful tool for cultural exchange and connection. Our Brazilian dance Montreal classes, especially our signature Pop Funk, are designed to immerse you in this rich cultural experience:

• Authentic Rhythms: Our instructors are deeply connected to the roots of Brazilian Funk, ensuring that every beat and every move carries the true spirit of the music. It’s not just a workout; it’s an energetic journey into Brazilian culture.
• Inclusive & Welcoming: We’ve built a cultural dance class environment where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background or dance experience. We’ve seen countless testimonials from non-Brazilian students who’ve fallen in love with the culture and the energy.
• Breaking the Stigma: By bringing authentic Brazilian Funk to Montreal, we aim to break down any lingering misconceptions and celebrate its power, positivity, and artistry. It’s about sharing joy and building bridges.
